ISBN: 9780195153798 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780195187175 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In the last fifteen years, psychologists have rediscovered culture and its influence on emotion, thought, and self.

These scholars argue that while individualist cultures give rise to "independent" selves, leading Westerners to think and act autonomously, collectivist cultures foster "interdependent" selves, leading non-Westerners,...

Crowd behavior is one of the most colorful but least understood forms of human social behavior. This volume is a major contribution to the field of collective behavior, with implications for social movement analysis. McPhail's critical assessment of the major theories of crowd behavior establishes that, whatever their particular limitations and strengths, all share a general and serious flaw: their explanations were developed without prior examination of the behaviors to be explained. Drawing on a wide range of empirical studies that include his own careful field work, the author... Crowd behavior is one of the most colorful but least understood forms of human social behavior.
